Two rounds of snow ahead for the weekend. The first round develops late Friday afternoon and ends in the evening. A quick 2 to 4 inches of snow are possible in the first round. 

After a lull in the activity early Saturday, more snow develops for the afternoon and night. Snow lingers into Sunday morning while shifting into northwest Indiana. Right now, rain appears to stay to the south of I-80 with meaningful snow everywhere else. Travel will be hazardous once again throughout the day on Saturday.
